"One little seal caught up in the moment took a quick bite at Roxy's fin before joyfully leaping over Kim's shoulder and then speeding up to me diving down and between my legs, three girls in the big blue surrounded by ecstatic seal-friends laughing joyfully!" - Hanli Prinsloo

Seal Island Sunrises

Join us for an adventure as we witness an awe inspiring early morning sunrise over Seal Island. Here we will have coffee/drinks and watch thousands of seals and seabirds going about daily life. We will head out into the mouth of false bay were we may encounter pods of common dolphin, Southern Wright hales, penguins and even sunfish. We will then head into back to shore were we can explore the kelp forests and find the many small endemic shark species and fish. We will be ashore just before lunch. The best way to start your day.
